The officials hear

11And Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh from the scroll.

12he went down to the king's house, to the scribe's chamber, and behold, all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the officials.

13And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.

14Then all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.

15And they said to him, “Please sit down and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.

16And when they heard all the words, each man turned in fear to his companion, and they said to Baruch, “We must surely tell the king all these words.”

17And they asked Baruch, saying, “Please tell us, how did you write all these words from his mouth?”

18Then Baruch said to them, “He would recite all these words to me with his mouth, and I was writing them on the scroll with ink.”

19Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are.”
